GREEN COVE SPRINGS is northwest of St Augustine, Clay County, in
Florida known for its natural Sulphur springs.
It is located on the St. Johns River, south of Jacksonville.
Kudos to the Clay County Animal Care and Control shelter for
developing a new Business Cat Program which helps business owners and shelter
animals. Shelter cats are placed at
pet-friendly businesses until they find forever homes. The cats get exposure to
the public which can increase their chances of being adopted. The benefit to employers is to see increased
productivity and decreased stress among its employees.

Animals first get complete veterinary care, being spayed or neutered
and vaccinated prior to a business placement.
Supplies come with the kitty such as food and litter. Businesses provide a safe enclosed
environment, and love and affection from office staff. Cats are carefully chosen according to the
environment with few or lots of people around the business. A large crate is provided for night time for
the cats.

Result: 25 shelter cats recently found new homes during a Super
Adoption Weekend. All potential
business cats were adopted. There is no
fee and the cats are considered “borrowed.”
